As I work through the focus of my research in peace, my mind spins into some dark places. With this spin is the base of what I am trying to understand. Basically it comes down to how the individual builds, manages and maintains their life in a peaceful manner towards a peaceful world.
How a person leads their life, views their life, brings
thought to action, and how a person impacts the rest of society are all part of
what I am seeking to understand.
Taking circumstances into reality, there are elements of
life which fall outside of individual concerns and/or control. In the grand
scheme we can not live anywhere else but this planet right now so get used it
and you filter down from there. Also we have to understand that no two people
will ever have the exact same set of circumstances or experiences.
These are tumultuous times. There are few if any places in
the world that are in a stable situation. In times of such uncertainty, the
need for everyone to exercise leadership is paramount. Each of us must
acknowledge and perform to the best of their capacities the responsibilities of
peace.
Leadership within our own lives is more important than what
the common thoughts of who leaders are and how they lead. How each of us think
and behave is of vital importance because we must rely on our own judgements
first. This falls into the ethical questions of why we follow laws.
Do you follow laws because you do not want to get caught? Do
you follow laws because you agree with those laws? Do you even care what the
laws are? How does a person get to the point where it is okay to be a leader in
human trafficking or corruption for examples?
I hope each of us finds peace in life. When I finish this
portion of my research I will post those results.
